About coding generalized edema
The ICD-10-CM code for generalized edema is R60.1 (Generalized edema).
Within R60 (edema, not elsewhere classified), R60.1 is specifically for generalized edema. Related codes cover localized edema (R60.0) and edema, unspecified (R60.9).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of R60.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: nutritional edema (E40-E46).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
